God isn't the son of Memory; He's the son of Immediate Experience. You can't worship a spirit in spirit, unless you do it now. Wallowing in the past may be good literature. As wisdom, it's hopeless.

But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise.

Closed in Fancy’s rainbow shell
